This is only political because it involves Nancy Pelosi and it is a way to play gotcha politics with her and the democratic leadership, even though there really isn't a whole lot of "gotcha" here. A few members weren't able to make the photo shoot so they photoshopped them in so that they would still be included. It wasn't hidden or lied about and at the end of the day it is just a nice photograph commemorating women. If this makes the news cycle for more than a day it will be indicative of the slimy direction that politics continues to go towards and how people are continuing to make something out of nothing while claiming to still somehow be above it all.
Fine for our government to use digital editing techniques to misrepresent events / places where our politicians attend, then?
Wow.
It is just a photograph of female members that was photoshopped for pretty innocent reasons. It's not a matter of national security, national trust, national intrigue, or anything beyond a photograph that was meant to be positive and inclusive. This is just not news i'm sorry.
NBC carried it on national news tonight. MSN had it in there top banner stories for a while this afternoon. You would be wrong.
